Can i only claim the basic 67.50 per week and not DLA while on assesment.
ESA and DLA are seperate benefits, there is no reason why your DLA should be affected while you appeal an ESA Decision.
If you are appealing to the Upper Tribunal, then you are not entitled to the ESA Assessment rate, this is only payable when appealing to the Lower Tribunal.
Hope this explains it.
